Premier League 19-21 Oct

Even Senderos is at it...feckin Bicycle kick :lol:

Palace getting dicked.
 
4-1. Goal line technology working.

Could Holloway get sacked?
 
Holloway will be gone in the morning.

He has done brilliant to get them there. But that crazy looking owner will want a new man in ASAP
 
F'ing hell, the real Crystal Palace stayed up longer than this bunch.
 
It's his first season so I don't want to be too harsh but Gayle doesn't look like much considering he cost £6m odd.
 
Another Championship team coming into the Premier League underprepared.

In terms of the development of their team they probably came up a year or two early, though in absolute terms the oodles of money they'll get this season and when they go down will cushion the blow.

He's a very good Championship manager, same as Warnock. Not sure anyone could keep this Palace side up, their squad is abysmal for this level. Chamakh and a 40 year old Kevin Phillips? Awful.

There were more proven strikers around this summer for that sort of money or less. Maybe it's the wages holding them back. I doubt he's on that much.

Unless a promoted team has serious investment and backing (Southampton), a manager with experience in the big leagues (Big Sam/West Ham) or a fixated style of play (Stoke/Swansea), I don't see how one can survive in the Premier League.

QPR invested and brought in Redknapp, but the damage was done much earlier. I think a season in the Championship to regroup will do them the world of good.
 
You can't say Palace don't have a type.

Say what you like about Palace, we only just managed to beat them with an extra man, at home, with a dodgy penalty, and still couldn't score against them from open play.

It sort of sounds like you're saying things about us, not Palace, Mockers.
 
fecking hell, that's some goal of the season competition they've got down at Fulham. I still prefer Wilshere's mind... though they're obviously vastly different types of goal.

Can we start doing some beautiful shit now?

They shouldn't have even gone up and by doing so they will have earned £100m or so through TV deals and parachute payments so all in all Holloway has done well enough. If he's sacked it'll be a poor message for all the managers who have managed to make their Championship sides punch well above their weights - don't go up because you'll be jobless in 3 months.

Agree with most of that, that's basically how it is. Be interested to see how Hull do though as they would come solely under the 'experienced PL manager' category.
 
Say what you like about Palace, we only just managed to beat them with an extra man, unfairly, with a dodgy penalty, at home, and still couldn't score against them from open play.

And they'd have been 1-0 up if Gayle hadn't squandered a perfect chance in the first half.

Aye, like I say nobody could keep this lot up so it's pointless getting rid of a very good Championship manager who could help you regroup and challenge again when they return back down.
 
This Kasami bloke is inventive, that's for sure, shame that didn't go in.
